The learners will use a instructional video that will lead the participant through the Edomodo program as both a student and a teacher. This method was chosen so that the learner could learn both interfaces for the program and would have a working knowledge of how to instruct their students through program as well as perform the functions of class leader, The training video will be self-paced. This option was chosen so that learners that are more computer savvy can work quickly through the basic functions of the program that may take less confident learners more time to feel comfortable with while allowing the slower paced learner the freedom to take their time. We hope this will eliminate the learners getting bored or feeling overwhelmed because of the pace, and allow the course instructor the option to act as more of a facilitator during the training. This would give the instructor the ability to offer more one-on-one attention during the training and ensure learning and understanding.
The learner will also have an instructional booklet that they will be able to take away from the training with them since they can't take the training video with them. The booklet will contain detailed directions and screen shots from the Edmodo program. This was chosen so that the learners will have directions and guidance to fall back on when they leave the training if needed. We feel like this will be useful because some of the participants of the program may not be able to integrate the Edmodo program in to their classrooms right away. This lag in implementation could result in the learners forgetting some aspects of the training, and therefore not feel comfortable with using the program. By providing an instructional booklet, the learners will have a "refresher course" at their disposal.
